[QE-users] How to recover structural parameters from QE 'vc-ralax' calculation

2020-08-17 Thread Soumyadeep
Dear All, Suppose I am doing a "vc-relax" calculation in quantum espresso starting from experimental structure. Now I want to apply hydrostatic pressure by using 'press' flag in namelist and optimize further. Is it possible to recover structural parameters (like a, b, c, angles and

Hi all, I'm interested in doing DFT+U calculations on the rare earth mono-nitride GdN. The most successful calculations in the past have used multiple Hubbard U terms (U_f and U_d) on the 4f and 5d electron channels on the Gd ion. This has been done before using QE (Comput. Mater. Sci 95 (2014)

Dear Sebastian, dear Stephano This is because when you do a restart, you generally rerun a previous job with exactelly the same positions, it is then relevant to begin the wfcs (starting wfc=file that read wfc.#k) and total potential (startingpot='file' that read charg-density.dat) In some

Dear Prasenjit, For the HP calculation you can try alpha_mix(1)=0.1 or even 0.05. Also try to use niter_max = 200 or 300. For the SCF calculation degauss=0.004 Ry is very small. The system is gapped or metallic at the PBE level? Maybe you can try larger values for degauss? Also you can try
